The smallest steps...
Peter watched Cooper sleeping the other night and commented "I just want to kiss him.." Oh. It was such a sweet moment. Peter is still waiting for his first cuddle, something that we hope will finally happen today.
When I arrived at the NICU yesterday I was floored to see my little man out of his humidicrib and in a hot cot! Basically it is an open top BIG BOY'S bed! A heated water mattress had him lulling like a......well, a baby! He even had a jacket & beanie on. I lost my shit at the sweetness! If he can maintain his own body temperature in the hot cot, he can stay there. It means we can touch him, pester him, kiss toes & pop dummies in with greater ease. He is now taking 8 mils of milk every 2 hours. News that has my tits in a twist because I am only producing just enough milk to cope! I am hiring an electric breast pump today to help keep up demand.
I am so thrilled with his progress. I changed my first shitty nappy yesterday, what a messy, happy task! Then I got to cuddle Cooper for an hour and 20 minutes. He completely wrapped his little body around my torso, tiny legs almost doing the splits, spread eagled around my hips.
We held hands.
I think he likes me.

What a beautiful thing! I'm so happy that your boy is strong and doing so well! I can't even imagine how priceless it was for you to spend that quality time with him.
Ooooh, that is so sweet! What a relief things are going well. And that he likes you.... *sigh*
Oh mony- your making me cry! I am so glad cooper is doing better.. hopefully you guys will be able to snuggle him soon. It must be so strange to see him- the little man that was growing inside of you. You must feel love that you have never felt before. Please take this time to rest. Sending you love!
I am so happy for you I am tearing up.
I think he likes you too!
Too sweet.
Thank you for reminding me why I fight so damn hard for this....

Small steps but really huge leaps! That is the best news hun. of course you make me cry every time I come to read how you are going but I will forgive you on that score lol.

Mony, what a lovely post, its made me have a little bawl! So happy your little man is doing so well and you both got to have a cuddle with him. He'll move along now in leaps and bounds that he has his mommy and daddy to cuddle him. x
I think he loves you! That is just so gorgeous to read...I am so glad he is doing so well. And your first nappy! You'd almost want to save it (umm but don't!)
